<p>
      Thomas Witt in 2002 produced a prototype called cyclic buffer.
    </p>
<p>
      The circular_buffer has a short history. Its first version was a std::deque
      adaptor. This container was not very effective because of many reallocations
      when inserting/removing an element. Thomas Wenish did a review of this version
      and motivated me to create a circular buffer which allocates memory at once
      when created.
    </p>
<p>
      The second version adapted <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">std</span><span class="special">::</span><span class="identifier">vector</span></code>
      but it has been abandoned soon because of limited control over iterator invalidation.
      The current version is a full-fledged STL compliant container.
    </p>
<p>
      Pavel Vozenilek did a thorough review of this version and came with many good
      ideas and improvements.
    </p>
<p>
      The idea of the space optimized circular buffer has been introduced by Pavel
      Vozenilek.
    </p>
<p>
      Also, I would like to thank Howard Hinnant, Nigel Stewart and everyone who
      participated at the formal review for valuable comments and ideas.
    </p>
<p>
      Paul A. Bristow refactored the documentation in 2013 to use the full power
      of Quickbook, Doxygen and Autoindexing.
